Definitions
- the present invention relates to a belt cleaner for removing the leavings of conveying material, e.g. coke, stuck on the surface of a conveyor belt during the return movement of the belt.
- conveying material e.g. coke
- a prior art cleaner for a conveyor belt is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,841,470 wherein the belt cleaner includes a plurality of cleaner means disposed thereon in the transverse direction of the conveyor belt at the return running side thereof.
- Each cleaner means has a scraping portion thereof which intends to come into contact with the belt surface, while all of which are arranged in linear relationship.
- said cleaner means which includes a scraper having said scraping portion formed with a tip member at uppermost end thereof is yieldingly supported by a resilient member so that the scraping portion thereof becomes in contact with the belt surface under pressure by the resilience of said resilient member.
- an endless conveyor belt which is fitted for running in a circle between a drive pulley and an idler pulley, is supported on the forward running side thereof by a plurality of guide rollers arranged at “trough” angles so as to be curved in an arcuate shape in cross section in order to carry the transferring material in a stable manner.
- the belt is supported so that the lengthwisely extending central region thereof can arcuately be deflected downward.
- the transferring materials are consecutively transferred generally on the central region of the belt, which will result in intensive wear on the central region of the belt surface rather than on both side regions of the same.
- the belt is deflected arcuately upward on the return running side of the belt where the belt runs backward after discharging the transferring material therefrom.
- the scraping portions of the cleaner means arranged in linear relationship are prevented from matching the belt surface when coming into close contact with the same. More specifically, there is a clearance between the scraping portions arranged linearly and the central region of the belt surface. The clearance becomes greater when the amount of wear on the central region of the belt surface is increased. Consequently, the leavings of material on the central region of the belt surface cannot positively be scraped off by the scraping portions of the cleaner.
- Patent document 1 JP-H2-50009B (corresponding to EP0289659B1)
- Patent document 2 JP-H5-65407B (corresponding to EP0338118B1)
- Patent document 3 JP-H7-20766B
- Patent document 4 JP-H11-35135A (corresponding to EP0891934B1)
- a scraper is adjustably supported for rotary displacement about an axis extending in a transverse direction of the belt and has a scraping portion thereon which intends to be in contact with the belt surface and is outwardly deflected a maximum from the axis at a point midway between the side ends of the belt. Accordingly, when the scraper is turned upward about the axis to its standing position, the scraping portion thereof will arch its central region as lifted upward.
- the scraper is formed in a belt-like shape by a resilient board in which support members are embedded in a row, said resilient board comprises a cover wall extending integrally along over the aligned support members and covering the surfaces thereof, and hinge portions connecting each two adjoined support members flexibly with each other so as to allow the scraper to be bent in a curved form.
- a holder provides holding means which holds said cover wall of the scraper in the curved form via said hinge portions so that the scraper deflects a maximum at a point midway between both ends of the belt from the axis extending transversely of the belt.
- the scraper is flexible to match the arcuate shape of the holding means in the holder. It is thus unnecessary for the scraper to have a shape corresponding to the arcuate shape of the holding means, which facilitates its fabrication.
- the scarping portion of the scraper having a curved shape will get contact with the belt surface when the scraper is turned upward to its standing position.
- the scraping portion contacts the trough-shaped belt surface without causing clearance as far as the scraping portion and the belt surface are mutually of the same arcuate shapes as expected.
- the scraping portion cannot become in contact with the belt surface over the full width thereof.
- the clearances S 1 and S 1 can be reduced by pushing the scraping portion 3 of the scraper 2 against the belt surface to deform the belt 1 a , however, the belt may have a risk of being torn or damaged at the center due to the high contact pressure exerted by the scraping portion 3 at the center thereto. Further, the center of the scraping portion 3 will be worn faster than the both sides, and then a partial wearing of the scraping portion will be expedited.
- the clearance S 2 can be reduced by pushing the scraping portion 3 of the scraper 2 against the belt surface to deform the belt 1 a , however, the belt has a risk of being torn or damaged at the side ends due to the high contact pressure exerted by the scraping portion 3 at the side ends thereto. Further, the side ends of the scraping portion 3 will be worn faster than the center, then a partial wearing of the scraping portion will be expedited.
- the present invention provides a belt cleaner having a scraper for removing the leavings of conveying material on the surface of a conveyor belt during the return movement of the belt wherein a scraping portion of the scraper becomes in close contact with the belt surface over the full width thereof even when the belt surface has any trough-shaped configurations different than the shape as expected.
